I was going to go with 14" chubby apes on my cholo build. But, the other day I was going down the highway at 75-80 mph and the wind was killing me with my stock bars and windshield. It made me start thinking about going with beach bars instead.

So, you guys with apes... How do you deal with highway speeds? I really like the apes and think they compliment the cholo style. But, I do like beach bars to...

 

With my mouth closed

 

Grow a pair or get a windshield. In other words, we just deal with it - it's part of the experience.
BTW, beach bars aren't gonna make it much better at hwy speeds...

 

Yep pretty much after about 5-6 hours if riding im pretty beat up. But I'm willing to sacrifice comfort for what I think looks good

 

That's pretty much the gist of it. I sleep very well after fun-filled day of riding...

 

I cruise at hwy speeds with my clutch hand resting my legs, hunched over a bit. Oh and don't forget to look like a badass regardless if you are hating life hahaha.

 

I usually ride one handed too, it cuts the wind a lot.

And I wear foam ear plugs. Cutting the wind noise helps a ton, my pilot buddy clued me into that long ago.

 

Blue bird Bluetooth earbuds cut out the noise when crusing...(waits for headphone police)

 

I gotta try them earplugs. I hate that wind noise.

As far as the apes goes, like Hoggy said, you learn to deal with it. Pretty much Anything that looks cool is not practical at all.

 

Same here. 16inch carlinis and I just deal with it. Plus I try and stay off the highways if I can. Just take the long way and ride the back roads. But I don't mind busting down the highway if I need to. I just know that when I'm on the bike any problems don't matter cuz I'm having a good time
